}}Jose Manuel "Chel" Icasiano Diokno (born February 23, 1961) is a Filipino lawyer, educator, and civil rights advocate best known for being one of the Philippines' foremost human rights lawyers. He serves as chairman of the Free Legal Assistance Group and as founding dean of the De La Salle University College of Law. He has also served as special counsel of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.[1]

Early life and education

Diokno was born on February 23, 1961, the eighth of ten children by Senator Jose W. Diokno and his wife Carmen Icasiano.

Chel was one year old when his father was appointed Secretary of Justice and exposed the corruption of Harry Stonehill. When he was two, his father ran for the Senate, where he excelled as Chair of the Economic Affairs Committee and was consistently voted outstanding Senator. When Chel was 11, his father was arrested by the Marcos regime and imprisoned for two years without charges.

Diokno earned a degree in Philosophy at University of the Philippines Diliman, and then studied law at Northern Illinois University (NIU) in the United States, where he graduated Juris Doctor of Laws, magna cum laude, in 1986.[2]

Legal career

Diokno passed the Bar Examination in the State of Illinois and in the Philippines.[3] In his return to the Philippines in 1987, he immediately took up the cause of human rights and proceeded to serving as a lawyer[4]. Chel joined the Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG) — the Philippines' oldest and largest group of human rights lawyers, which his father founded.[5]

Notable cases

As a practicing lawyer, Diokno has won numerous cases on behalf of the public interest. He has represented teachers, government workers, fishermen, farmers, and other Filipinos in need. Among his notable cases are the following:

  • Diokno was part of the team of FLAG lawyers who prosecuted the 27 police officers who were implicated in the 1995 Kuratong Baleleng rubout case. FLAG continued to pursue the case into the 2000s, despite Diokno and his colleagues receiving numerous death threats. [5]
  • He is the counsel of Rodolfo "Jun" Lozada, NBN/ZTE whistleblower, and lead witness in the Ombudsman's cases against former National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) head Romulo Neri and former Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chair Benjamin Abalos.[6]
  • In 2007, Diokno made history when he, along with fellow FLAG lawyers Theodore O. Te and Ricardo A. Sunga III, successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to issue its first Writs of Amparo for Raymond and Reynaldo Manalo, two brothers who were allegedly picked up and tortured by agents of the Philippine military.[7]
  • The following year, Diokno won the release of members of the "Tagaytay 5," men who were illegally detained by the Philippine National Police.[8]
  • Diokno and Atty. Te also represented media organizations in a petition against the Arroyo administration. The case brought together members of ABS-CBN, the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Probe Productions, Newsbreak, and the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, among others.[9]

Government service

In the 1990s, Diokno served on the Commission on Human Rights under Presidents Cory Aquino and Fidel V. Ramos. He was also a member of the Committee on Human Rights and Due Process at the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP).[3]

In 2001, Diokno was team leader and private prosecutor in the impeachment proceedings against then-President Joseph Estrada. That same year, he became General Counsel of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee (the Committee on Accountability of Public Officers and Investigation) under Sen. Joker Arroyo. In 2004, he was appointed Special Counsel of the Development Bank of the Philippines.[3]

Until 2019, Diokno serves the Presidential Adviser on Human Rights of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, and until 2021, he is a member of the Panel of Arbitrators of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.

Academe

With his expertise in litigation, in 2006, Diokno set up the Diokno Law Center. It provides valuable legal training to agencies such as the Comelec, the Public Attorney's Office, the Philippine National Police, the Office of the Ombudsman, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Bureau of Customs, and the IBP.

Politics

Diokno launched a campaign for a seat in the Senate in the 2019 Philippine general election

Advocacies

Human rights

Diokno's whole career, from his law practice with the Free Legal Assistance Group to his role as counsel to the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee to his role as founding Dean of the De La Salle University College of Law, has revolved around the central theme of Human Rights advocacy.[5] He has expressed the motivation for this focus in a 2012 column for the Investigative News Magazine Newsbreak:

Our task–and our challenge–is to find safer ground. To find a path that can take us, eventually, to a world where life has meaning; where values count; and where we can say: This is where I want my children to grow up, instead of dreaming of a better life in distant shores.[5]

Position against Martial Law revisionism

As the descendants of former Senator and noted Martial Law critic Jose W. Diokno, Chel Diokno and the rest of his family have taken a strong position against historical negationism and denialism regarding the Philippines' Martial Law era under Ferdinand Marcos.[10][11][12]

Authored books

Diokno has written two books: Diokno On Trial: The Techniques And Ideals Of The Filipino Lawyer (The Complete Guide To Handling A Case In Court), published by the Diokno Law Center in 2007; and Civil And Administrative Suits As Instruments Of Accountability For Human Rights Violations, published by the Asia Foundation in 2010. He has also written extensively on forensic DNA, electronic evidence, anti-terrorism legislation, media law, and judicial reform.[3]

Personal life

Diokno is the son of Filipino nationalist Senator Jose W. "Pepe" Diokno. His sister, Maris Diokno, is a senior administrator in the University of the Philippines system who has served as chair of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. Diokno's eldest son is the internationally awarded filmmaker Pepe, who was named after his grandfather.
